Funny Santa pics

I know, its almost Februrary and I still haven't caught up to Christmas! Today I am going to try to catch up so I can get working on my 2010 blog book. It just seems like there is always so much to do! I have made a list of my daily chores, and I don't think its possible for me to get them all done. So, things like my blog get left behind. I really want to keep it going because I love the books I am able to make from it. So, forgive me for making you look at Christmas pictures. These were taken at the Ward Christmas party way back in the begingging of December. The kids were so excited to meet Santa, until they got up close, and then I think they were a little scared.

Silly Faces

We have to have lots of fun in our house. If I didn't laugh, I would cry at all the funny things that happen on an everyday basis. Like when Noah puts a whole roll of toliet paper down the toliet and then tries to clean it up with a toliet brush. Or when Joslyn decides to draw on the couches. When Noah puts the cat in the washing machine, and turns it on. I could go on and on. So instead of crying at all the crazy things that happen, we laugh. And we make silly faces!

Big Sister

I just wanted to write a little about my little helper, Taylor. She has really been such a big help to me and is such a great big sister. She loves to help out with the other kids and with some of the housework. Last weekend she got cereal for the kids and then emptied the whole dishwasher for Justin and I. We didn't even ask, she just did it. I am so lucky to have such great kids!

Sisters

I feel so blessed to have the wonderful family that I do. As the girls get older we are able to do some fun things with them. The best part is watching them play together. Don't get me wrong, things are not always blissful. There is a lot of fighting and screaming, and crying, but that is to be expected. The other day the girls and I set up a little store in Andrew's room. We had a toy, shoe, clothes, and book display. Then we set up a checkout desk complete with a cash register, credit cards, checks, bags, and Ellie made some fake money. We shopped and had so much fun. We even convinced Dad to come shop a little.


The girls before dance class, I don't think Taylor is doing a official pose!

The girls are always being silly! And they love it when I take pictures of them being silly!

My little teddy bear

Have you seen how cute my kids are?? Well Andrew is no exception. He is the cutest little thing ever! Here he is dressed warm in his bear outfit. I wanted to make sure he was warm, and it worked! I just can't get enough of this little guy. He makes our family so much fun. They grow up so fast, and I can't believe he is already 7 months old. He has two teeth and is always saying "dada!" Justin loves it. Don't you just want to grab his little cheeks and kiss his face?
